This Week: Luke Goes to Bat

posted Jan 12, 2015, 1:15 AM by Jason Brunken

This week, the Grade 2 classes will be reading Luke Goes to Bat. This story is a realistic fiction story set in the 1950s as baseball was being desegregated. Luke, the main character, dreams of being a baseball hero just like Jackie Robinson, the first black man to play in the Major Leagues. He gets off to a bad start, but learns success comes from trying your best. The story has a great message of not giving up in the face of adversity. There aren't many better role models for that than Jackie Robinson.
